Had an absolute blast in Key West! From the vibrant sunset celebrations at Mallory Square to exploring the historic streets of Old Town, every moment was a treasure. Bars on Duval Street, and the laid-back island vibes made it an unforgettable.

Excellent location to all the action!
Check-in was seamless, very clean bathrooms and bedrooms and the parking and house were very nice. The pool we did not use as it was filled with some debris...possible from high winds but maybe more attention to this is required. The house needs some TLC as it needs painting in bathrooms and powerwashing outside...but hey, your in Key West!

Great Location
Excellent location on north Duvall, near amenities but not too close to the boats, marina etc. This property has so much potential, and it has to be taken for what it is, a great location with comfortable, well made up beds. We eat meals out, so didn't need the kitchen really. Used the pool and patio. Would be great to see some new patio furniture next time. Noticed that the living room couch was replaced with a very nice new couch. Thank you! TV was easy to use. Bathrooms finishes are rough, but we didn't spend much time in the unit so did not matter. Good hot water and pressure! Safe, secure, and the dedicated parking spot was key! Perfect for the golf cart. We found rooms for my wife's parents at the La Concha Hotel nearby. The live music did not bother us. We used to live under the "El" in Chicago, and you didn't hear it after awhile. Same thing here, and the music stops at 12:30am. We also spend time in and love those live music establishments!

Great Location, Good Condition, Well Managed
We are a family with 2 adult children (23 & 21). Property condition: The property was in good condition. The pool was a nice touch and I wish we could have used it but the property is so convenient to everything that we never wanted to just chill at the house. Even though the property is advertised as a 3 bedroom house, I would not book this property for a family. The upstairs is private and nice. The 2 downstairs bedrooms are small and they share a bathroom with a REALLY small shower. Also, all of the downstairs bedroom doors are louvered so there is absolutely no sound privacy. If anybody is in the kitchen or living room, everyone in those 2 bedrooms knows it. There's no door on the upstairs bedroom either - just a staircase leading up - but that didn't bother us. Beds were comfortable. Adequately stocked with dishes and supplies. Nice one-car, off-street parking area if you need it. Owner: This property is managed by a company named Vacasa. Communications were prompt and professional. Visited local office (8 blocks up the street) and staff were awesome. Plane arrived before and departed after check-in/out times and staff let us store our bags at office and use their bathrooms. A nice convenience.. Location: The location near the corner of Whitehead/Caroline Sts was an awesome location for being in the middle of things. One block off Duval St meant you were steps away from the action and easy to pop back home. Beware that this property is right next to Hanks Hair of the Dog Saloon as well as across the parking lot from Smokin' Tuna Saloon. You WILL enjoy music from both places as if you were actually there until at least midnight. This did not bother us because most nights we were out later than this, but beware if you have travelers who go to bed earlier. Overall, we were happy with this property and would return as a couple, but would probably not stay here again as a family. Due to the downstairs bedrooms and location right next to the bars, It is best suited for a couple who is out late every night.

A Great Find!!!
This was the perfect spot for my family to stay while in Key West. The house was just as listed. If you want peaceful experience, this house is not for you. You are next door to bars and you hear music until 2 in the morning.. We loved it and enjoyed the location. We will definitely stay here again.

Best location & amazing heated pool
This house couldn’t be in a better location! We love live music so the music coming from nearby bars didn’t bother us. Pool wasn’t heated first couple days but then it was warm as bath water & very clean. The masters upstairs is very large, just needed more hangers. Two bedrooms downstairs share a very small bathroom so I was glad we only had 1 couple using it. Would definitely love to stay here again.

Loud(!!!) bar music until 1am 7 days a week
The ONE thing VRBO customers need to know is: night time noise! Nearby bars play loud incessant percussive music with heavy bass, which permeates earplugs and any number of pillows. They quiet down at 1am. This is 7 days a week. Also 7 days a week, the ubiquitous Key West roosters take their morning duties very seriously! Roosters notwithstanding, if you are night owls and/or a party crew, this place may be perfect for you. It’s spacious with plenty of gathering/seating areas, a great pool, and awesome walkable location. It was reasonably well appointed with soap, shampoo, deck of cards, kitchen sundries (no coffee filters – they always seem to disappear in rentals, and if you’re “that guy” please stop) and was reasonably clean, if a bit shabby. A few minor things that might be useful to those interested in booking: the downstairs bathroom is situated between and joins the 2 bedrooms so not ideal access as a powder room. Its shower is microscopic. The toilet rocks and tends to run – a new chain would help conserve water. The crank-style windows don’t close well, and while the neighborhood didn’t feel unsafe, the house didn’t really feel secure. Also this didn’t help the noise situation. The pool was clean, and the pool service came while we were there. They did leave “rocks” of chlorine in the pool to slowly absorb – if you have kids or people unaccustomed to how pools and chlorine work, you might want to encourage them to NOT handle those. We booked 3 nights and left after the 2nd, because by unanimous vote, the nighttime noise was untenable. This is not the fault of VRBO/Vacasa, but I wish I’d mined the reviews a bit more.

Easy to Explore
Excellent house for our group of 3 couples. We did lots of exploring and this place was in a great spot for that. Easy off street parking. The city was working on the water lines and had most of the street blocked off and daily construction was competing with the music at the bar. Street should be finished soon. The bar next door is loud so be prepared with some earplugs or go hang out there like we did. Lots of restaurants around so we did not really cook any meals. Just warmed some leftovers in the microwave and made coffee daily. Shared bathroom shower is a bit small but we made it work. Plenty of towels. Beds are comfy. Pool was refreshing. Finally found the iron tucked away in a drawer on the morning as we were leaving. House could use a coat of paint inside and out. Some of the furniture has been replaced since the photos were taken. Plenty of seating for our group. Fast wifi. Overall nice stay.

Great location!
My husband and I stayed here with two friends for a week. Location was excellent, withing walking distance to everthing, quick walk to Duval St. More than enough room for the four of us. We were there for a concert and during the Key West Song Writers Festival. You could hear the music from the two nearby bars clearly on the upstairs deck and by the pool. The music was also loud in the second floor bedroom. We didn't mind because we were there to hear music and were usully up until the music was finished. If you're looking for a quiet location, this is probably not your best choice. The property has not been updated recently, but everything was clean and in working order. Price felt appropriate for the size and quality of the home. Again, the location was awesome and we would definitely stay there again.

Renter Beware
The property was on Whitehead Street across the street from the Truman Whitehouse. All things being equal, the property is in a desirable location. The problem was that the property description did not include the fact that a bar, Hanks Hair of the Dog Saloon, was right next door. It was over the backyard fence. The music would begin in the afternoon, which wasn’t the problem, the problem was that the music got progressively louder beginning around 5PM and lasted until 1AM. Couple the music with the crowd that would scream and yell and you thought you were at a concert. This is not the house for a family where younger kids are trying to go to sleep. We had to sleep with noise canceling headsets and had to buy ear plugs. If we had any idea that the bar was basically under the windows, we would not have rented this property. Better suited for college kids than a family. The owner, VRBO and Vacasa (the property manager) should have disclosed this fact. All we were told was that we were a block from Duvall, which was actually 2 blocks. We heard zero noise from Duvall. We spoke to various people at Vacasa. Some more helpful than others. They were all professional, but did little to change our situation. The one property they could switch us to was on Sinerton, whose front window had been broken the night before. From the outside that property looked terrible and very run down We decided to stay in the backyard of Hanks. Vacasa should do a better job at vetting the properties they manage. One Vacasa representative noted that she thought the property was in a quiet part of town and was unaware of the bar. That’s unacceptable. The property itself was not well taken care of. The windows did not shut completely, there were no extra blankets or sheets in case something happened and they became unusable. There were no instructions left for us to better navigate the house. It took us a while to figure out the washer and dryer were located outside in the back of the house in a separate garage type area. The pool company showed up one day and left the hose running in the pool. Had we not been home in time we would have had a flood. For the price we paid per night we were expecting something much more accommodating. Call me old fashion, but i do believe in honesty and full disclosure. Shame, shame.

Can't beat the location
House perfectly located. Just a few minutes to Mallory Square and Duval street. Take a walk down the street to see Hemmingways house. House itself has potential. Very spacious and yard is private with great pool. Cons: house needs some attention to detail. Its all in the details and lounge chair broken and left in heap on side of house, other chair ripped. Light switch plates broken, plug in bathroom nearly coming out of wall and rips in bench up stairs. Downstairs bathroom very small with paint peeling in tiny shower and no plugs in site. Cannot get ready in that bathroom. Checkout is 11 but maid there 1/2 hr early and sat at table outside. All windows so no privacy if u stay till checkout time. Curtains needed upstairs for privacy. Really really close to being the perfect house with a few adjustments.

Perfect location, great home, a little noisy at night
We were lucky that our original plan fell through. In that plan, we rented two apartments by the airport, far removed from Duval St. and the fun of Old Town, the historic sites, and the waterfront. This home is perfectly located - the street runs parallel to Duval and is situated near the the waterfront and Mallory Square. The house was great for a family of 5 - lots of space, a nice living room and TV with wifi, and a kitchen that made meals lots of fun. Our only complaint was the noise at night - the live music on Duval goes late - but all things considered, just about perfect for a week stay in Key West.
